Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 190 - 163: You Seem to Care About These People
Zhao Fang was startled.
A hint of guilt flashed across her face.
"What people behind, I don’t understand what you’re talking about."
Then, without giving Mu Yunchu a chance to continue asking, she directly awakened the two child-mother ghosts, "Consume these humans as your nourishment!"
’Duan Jia’ didn’t have any extra reaction.
But the other child-mother ghost not only didn’t move but also turned and glared at Zhao Fang.
Just that glance almost made her legs go weak.
Mu Yunchu observed that compared to Duan Jia, this child-mother ghost should be more ’mature’, not only having its own intelligence but also not completely obeying Zhao Fang’s command.
She could even rebel, making Zhao Fang helpless against her.
Just like now.
Her sharp, cold voice echoed throughout the basement, making one’s scalp tingle, like a sharp object constantly scraping a blackboard.
"I don’t eat adults."
"Didn’t you know?"
After saying this, she yawned, and when she took her eyes off, she saw Wang Xiaoque, changing her attitude from before.
"Oh~ so your ’dinner’ is here."
Seeing she was no longer angry and her attention wasn’t on her anymore, Zhao Fang breathed a sigh of relief.
That child-mother ghost slowly reached out a hand, hooking a finger, trying to lure Wang Xiaoque to her side.
But just at this moment, a red flame raced through the air, landing right where her hand was.
Startled, she quickly withdrew her hand.
But her sleeve was still burned in one spot, and her once beautiful clothing became charred black.
"What the heck is this."
She hurriedly put out the fire, feeling the lingering warmth on her wrist, defensively looking towards the source of the flame.
"A Daoist?"
Mu Yunchu’s magic seemed to remind her of something, turning her previously calmed mood into turmoil once more.
"A Daoist..."
"It was you who turned me into this ghostly figure, I want to kill you, kill you..."
Mu Yunchu didn’t know who she mistook her for, but the anger and resentment in her eyes were about to overflow.
The already dark and damp basement seemed to hang in a putrid air.
The child-mother ghost was emitting a chilling black mist mingled with blood red. Her body transformed, growing several times larger, and her body and face turned a terrifying bluish-gray. The ever-silent child ghost beside her then unleashed a piercing scream.
Laughter mixed with screams echoed endlessly in the basement, growing increasingly eerie and terrifying. Frightening several kids nearby into fainting unconscious.
As Mu Yunchu contemplated how to prevent the children here from getting hurt, the child-mother ghost had already rushed over.
Two against one, the mother ghost attacks from the front, the child ghost swiftly circled behind Mu Yunchu, her blood-red, knife-like claws mercilessly clawing toward her back in a pincer attack.
If this move landed, it wouldn’t scoop her heart out, but certainly a chunk of flesh.
As the distance between the two grew shorter, Wen Xu, who had been pushed aside by Mu Yunchu, felt his heart leap to his throat.
Just as the child-mother ghost believed her strike was certain, and even Zhao Fang showed a sinister victorious smile, Mu Yunchu suddenly moved.
She took a deep breath, channeling her spiritual power within, softly tapping her right foot on the ground, her figure instantly turning ethereal, transforming into a faint white afterimage, narrowly avoiding the child-mother ghost’s pincer attack by a hair’s breadth.
Everyone who saw this scene thought their eyes were playing tricks.
Zhao Fang rubbed her eyes, thinking perhaps her vision was impaired.
How did she just see a perfectly healthy human turn transparent?
Seeing the attack target suddenly vanish, the child-mother ghost had no choice but to stop. Unbeknownst to her, she had already entered Mu Yunchu’s attack range.
Before she could fully stabilize herself, Mu Yunchu’s voice was heard, and she had somehow drawn a Peach Wood Sword, quickly brandishing it, causing the runes on the blade to radiate a blinding light. With her movements, layers of sword shadows overlapped, resembling a blooming golden lotus, enveloping the child-mother ghost.
Every sword shadow carried sharp Sword Qi, cutting through the air with a ’shhhhh’, accompanied by two anguished cries, leaving deep marks on both their bodies.
"Ah!!!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
The pain on her body made her increasingly angry.
The black fog around her became denser, almost filling the entire basement. Her originally enormous body became even more terrifying as she opened her bloody maw, spitting out a black flame.
The flame contained countless sharp black bone spurs, all sweeping towards Mu Yunchu.
Simultaneously, she moved her hands rapidly, black ghost energy surging between her ten fingers, summoning every black specter she had ever consumed.
Those specters were evidently no longer human, baring their fangs and claws as they rushed at Mu Yunchu, uttering frightening wails.
Seeing this, Mu Yunchu’s expression finally turned serious.
The corner of her eye caught Wen Xu and those children.
Li Shang could take care of himself, but she couldn’t ignore these ordinary people.
In a flash of inspiration, her mind had already devised a plan.
Her hands rapidly formed seals, then she plunged the sword into the ground.
Despite being just a wooden sword, it forcibly broke the concrete floor.
Using the sword as a conduit, she continuously channeled her spiritual power into the ground.
No one could discern her true intentions, not even the child-mother ghost she was fighting could understand what she wanted to do.
Yet Wen Xu seemed to have guessed something, moving his body closer to the group of children, trying to minimize the distance between them.
After doing this, it really was just a matter of seconds.
In an instant, a golden stone wall erupted from the ground in front of Mu Yunchu.
The black flame and bone spurs released by the child-mother ghost crashed into the stone wall, producing booming sounds and scattering countless sparks.
The black flames licked the stone wall but couldn’t burn through it in the slightest.
The sharp bone spurs all bounced back after hitting the stone wall.
The summoned black specters were also instantly consumed by the golden glow emanating from the wall when they approached, howling in agony before dissolving into puffs of black smoke.
It seemed the child-mother ghost’s attacks were ineffective.
But the attacker herself wasn’t the slightest bit disheartened seeing this.
Because she discovered, the stone wall wasn’t entirely indestructible.
The black energy she released was slowly devouring it, and as time passed, the golden glow was no longer as dazzling.
She grinned widely, gleeful after this discovery.
Because she had one irrefutable condition to guarantee her victory.
While relentlessly attacking, she taunted, "You sure seem to care about these people."
"As long as I increase the intensity of my attacks, they’ll all die here along with you."
After all, this basement was just a sealed space.
However, these words didn’t scare Mu Yunchu, but they frightened Zhao Fang half to death beside her.
She didn’t want to die here!
